Computex 2018: GIGABYTE Launches AORUS DDR4 RGB Memory

It seems like all of our favorite manufacturers are expanding into new markets, and well, produce just about everything these days. GIGABYTE is following this trend, launching their first AORUS DDR4 3200 MHz 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) RGB memory kit.

Although, RGB memory is far from unique, this memory does actually feature an industry-first. Each kit will come bundled with two “dummy” memory modules, in addition to the two 8GB modules. The “dummy” modules feature full RGB compatibility and prevent that awkward look of only filling half of your four RAM slots.
